We have made it to the midterm break and I think I may speak for the kids, the parents and the teachers, in that we all deserve the break.  The only homework I want the girls to concentrate on over the midterm break is SLEEP!  Relax and enjoy the downtime and have fun with your families.  Well done on the huge effort you have all put into your first term.  You have come such a long way, in such a short space of time.

We started the week with a Zoom call from Ms O’Reilly.  The girls were thrilled to see and hear Ms O’Reilly virtually, to receive their attendance certificates from the Mayor and the Principal’s certificates also.  Well done to the girls who missed no days, only one day, and 2-3 days.  

The girls got creative and finished their ‘Futuristic Halloween Rock Band’ themed costumes!!  Fantastic girls and good fun too.

We said farewell to Ms. Finucane on Thursday as she will be sailing off to retirement after midterm break.  We wish her all the best and many happy years with her family and friends.  How she will be missed amongst the staff and students of Our Lady of Good Counsel.

We would also like to thank Miss Whelan on the fantastic and inspiring lessons which she planned for the girls.  We really enjoyed your lessons, your enthusiasm and hard work.  Best of luck in your future studies.  You are, and will continue to be, an amazing teacher.  The girls finished their S.T.E.M. (Science.Technology.Engineering.Maths) projects – Fantastic rollercoasters!

Finally, I would like to wish you all a safe midterm break.  And I look forward to seeing you all after the break.
Best wishes,

Mrs. Power
